Can a Jew own a business that employs or pays atheist Jews on Shabbat?@Annelise - Actually, I don't feel the 2nd frustration you wrote about. However, I do feel 2 frustrations, the second being that a religion that is closer to me than all other religions (my sister is religious), is built in this intolerate rigid way (Of course, it's not the first time I encounter Judaism, so I'm not surprised). I'm not blaming anyone here ... Judaism is what it is ... I just don't understand people who choose to practice it, and doubt I ever will.
